OpenStage - Markerless actor tracking at the Hochschule Düsseldorf, University of Applied Sciences [DE]
Short Description
An OpenStage 2 system with 18 cameras from Organic Motion is installed in the Virtual Studio of the Hochschule Düsseldorf, University of Applied Sciences.
The system is used for realtime control of virtual environments and virtual (tv) productions as well as for motion capturing (MoCap). Without the need of markers attached to the actors, the system can track 1 to 5 people in the working volume. The system delivers 22 position and rotation data per actor. It can be used for following example applications:
- Control of avatars
- Full-body interactions in space
- Resolving the depth relation within a Virtual Studio for mask generation
- Control of a robotic camera
- Motion capturing (MoCap) for animations
